In Flames
Up in flames together we go
burning like phoenixes in the night.
Your body pressed against mine,
my lips pushing against yours.
Tonight is ours and no one will stand in our way.
For too long we've hidden in the shadows,
for too long we've played their games.
You make them hate you while protecting the
one you have your own reason to hate
and I solve all their problems while they claim
the credit for our work.
Together we've plotted.
Together we've schemed.
You needing your freedom.
Me needing a chance to prove myself
to be more than just the brains of
the trio.
Tonight we join, man and wife.
Tonight we finally give into the feelings
of passion, of love, that we have both
been denying for so long.
Things should never have worked out this way.
Things could have never gone this way without
the meddling of the two madmen we both
follow, both pretend to serve.
One word from his lips and the ministry falls.
One word and suddenly we're scrambling to
protect your secrets, your alliances.
One word and we're bound together
until death do we part.
One word on both our lips, proclaiming
we shall never betray our hearts.
Broken vows, lead to broken promises
he broke yours, destroyed any faith you had in the light.
I was there to pick up the pieces, to help you forget your
memories of her.
You were there when I felt my lowest,
felt as though I didn't matter anymore.
The war ended around us leaving us standing together
married by a law only passed to cause chaos.
Only passed to destroy both of us. They failed,
Merlin they failed because together we're stronger
together we have something they'd never dreamed.
True love blossoms in the hardest, the most trying
of times. Such power never before seen, such love
slowly blossoming between two mismatched lovers
never to be separated.
Tonight we burn, in passion, in flame,
finally free from everyone who tried to cage us.
Tonight we are ourselves, serving no masters save our
own desperate hearts.
